We may have been melting in one hell of a heatwave here in the UK, but that hasn’t slowed us down! As always, we’re here to bring you this week’s biggest news stories from across the world of gaming.
We’re always excited when a PS4 exclusive finally makes its way onto PC, less so when the PC version comes to the market riddled with bugs. Sadly, that’s what happened with the recent Horizon Zero Dawn PC port. Frequent crashes, freezing cutscenes, and a whole host of other visual glitches have definitely meant this game has gotten off to a rocky start. Let’s hope they get fixed soon, or we can’t see it having the same kind of success on PC than it did on PS4.
